The Gaffe Pub

The Gaffe is a long-running Irish-style pub just off Stradun in Dubrovnik Old Town, known for live sport, cold beer and substantial pub food. It is a useful stop if you want a casual pint or meal rather than another formal Old Town restaurant.

The dark pub-style interior, heavy wooden furniture, sports memorabilia and televisions give The Gaffe a familiar Irish-pub feel, while outdoor tables extend into the narrow pedestrian street outside.

Watching football and sport at The Gaffe

Live sport is one of The Gaffe's strongest reasons to visit. Football, rugby and other major sporting events are shown on multiple TVs around the pub, and the atmosphere becomes considerably livelier when an important match is on.

If there is a particular game you want to watch, arriving before kick-off is sensible because the pub can fill quickly for major fixtures.

Food and drinks

The Gaffe serves proper pub food throughout the day rather than limiting the kitchen to bar snacks. Current menus and listings include breakfast, burgers, grilled dishes, salads and other substantial casual meals.

Beer remains central to the experience, with Irish-style stout and lager alongside Croatian and international options. The exact food and drink selection can change, so we would not rely on older published menus or permanent claims about one particular burger.

Where is The Gaffe?

The Gaffe is at Miha Pracata 4, only a few steps from Stradun. Its central location makes it easy to stop for lunch, a drink or a football match while exploring the Old Town.

This page covers the original The Gaffe on Miha Pracata Street. There is also a separate venue called The Gaffe 2 on Boškovićeva Street, so check the address when arranging to meet someone.

Practical tips

• For live sport: arrive before kick-off for major football or rugby matches.
• Come hungry: the kitchen serves full meals throughout the day, not just snacks.
• Expect a casual atmosphere: this is a traditional pub-style stop rather than a cocktail bar.
• Outdoor seating is limited: the tables sit along a narrow Old Town street.
• Check the address: this is the original The Gaffe at Miha Pracata 4, not The Gaffe 2.
